Thanks for including Sue's article at the IWSG! It was awesome to have her on the site.
Great post from Sue!
These are such great links, Elizabeth, as always! I love the ones this time about being comfortable with the discomfort and messiness of writing. It's not going to be perfect, and I think imagining perfection can hold a writer back *makes note to self.*
Perfectionism is definitely not a writer’s friend!
